I don't know what to say. I'm worried about Ellie and how her career has been handled post-Delirium to be honest.

"This is the worst Ellie Goulding song I've ever heard and I've listened to all of her albums + some of her unreleased. Absolute trash."
Ouch.

Even without that review, I'm scared.

Why she is using Blackbear, when there is much superior soul singer Bearface from much closer country to Ellie - Northern Ireland. Anyway once there was this bright and different voice from Herefordshire to have the big future in music and she had the big success with original "Lights", but then they decided to kill the original voice and make some clones. But the biggest blame is Ellie herself - she is the most responsible person what happened to her music.

Yikes at including blackbear
Ellie why you do this
I mean I haven't lost all hope in her since I enjoyed Sixteen and Hate Me even though they are VERY subpar for her.

Ellie Honey, go back to Max Martin and make an 80s bop.

Yeah, that little review is everything but uplifting. Ellie used to be on fire at the beginning of last decade, but ever since "Love Me Like You Do" she hasn't been able to capture the magic of her earlier songs (this is coming from someone who's only heard her singles, mind you).
I wonder what happened to her?

Ellie Honey, go back to Max Martin and make an 80s bop. Apparently Ilya & Savan Kotecha (who are frequent collaborators of Max) were involved. I'm surprised cause they've never made a bad song, maybe a few underwhelming ones. "Worry About Me" - I do to be honest. Delirium is one of my favorite albums of the decade. It's great pop. |

Of all people, why Blackbear? Heβs a sucking void of charisma

Her first two albums honestly are some of my favorites of the 2010's
Figure 8, Lights, The Writer, Under The Sheets, Guns & Horses, Starry Eyed, etc
She really dropped the ball post Delirium and even Delirium was a lil weak aside from certain cuts like Heal, SITWYM, etc

I am terrified that this could be the nail in the coffin for her. βClose to Meβ did well at radio but floundered in other metrics, and βHate Meβ got lucky when TikTok revitalized it, fueling its 20 week run well after radio had dropped it.
This looks bad, but Iβm in it for the long haul now. I was here when Flo Rida blocked βLightsβ from the top, I was here when βAnything Could Happenβ peaked at 49 and made me worry she was a one hit wonder (the whole Halcyon album was done DIRTY by radio & critics), and I was here when βBurnβ & LMLYD solidified her place in the pop world. I canβt jump ship now. We ride at dawn, Gouldiggers

A really bad Ariana song that could have been on the Charlie's Angels soundtrack? Oh dear... π¬

Isn't late to cancel the release? I'm legit worried about her. |

Oh god no. Iβve been here for Ellie ever since Lights hit t big and I stuck through every release through the up and downs but this era is a huge disaster in terms of quality. And I fear she is going to alienate every fan she had. I just want her to go back to the Lights/Halycon sound. Why canβt she just do that?
Also, I donβt know why yβall are being surprised that blackbear is featured after all Hot Girl Bummer is smashing...

If these rumors are true...
It makes me sad to see such a talented artist sacrifice her artistic integrity for a hit song. Lights is my favorite hit song of the 2010s period, but this ain't it.

I'll withhold judgement until I hear the song but aside from "Flux" which was really good her post-Delirium material has been pretty subpar to me. As much as I like "Close to Me" it's pretty generic and faceless pop - Ellie's voice is pretty unique in the pop world so I can still tell it's her but other than that... Her first two eras I feel like she had more of a sound that you could recognize as her.
The fact that none of the recent singles went top 15 in her own country is kind of telling to me that something isn't working.

Ellie Honey, go back to Max Martin and make an 80s bop. Seriously. Most of her offerings over the past couple of years have been verging from listenable to downright horrible. She needs to get back to her roots. |
